for the lack of a better word, lets be friends!

I think this word is being used a lot and without much meaning to it these days… too bad!

I can count my good friends on my fingers, and my friends, well, maybe twice on my fingers… anyone else, and no offence please, is someone that I know or someone who knows me through Chai ki Dukaan, or my flickr page, or through someone I know through chai ki dukaan or my flickr page, or through someone who I know through someone… but com’on!!! friends? its takes something to be called a friend or to be a friend! is it not? or I am just plain stupid?

For me 1 incident, or a couple of them between two people do not make or break friends… its takes time! and something more than the verbal or written or visual to be a friend of someone… a connection that makes you open up and share, and it HAS to be two way!

and I see on blogs and comments and other places, sentences like I love you all, thank you friends, and all that… I find it crazy!

On second thoughts, what is a different word for friend? Are there more words like it which can be used? Is it offensive to admit that you do not treat someone as a friend, but just as someone you know? I personally feel its ok, I would know my place and space and if I don’t I should…

Maybe I am just going crazy! well! never mind!
